You might want to check the sodium level of the Gatorade you're drinking. I prefer to drink Vitalyte, whose chemical composition more closely matches our body fluids. Each serving of Vitalyte has 68mg of sodium, which might be half of what Gatorade has. I've been drinking this stuff for 20 years. It's not just for athletes.

Your kidneys will dump the excess sodium coming from Gatorade, but it's best to drink something closer to what's in Vitalyte, since it is isotonic, i.e. it's very similar in chemical composition to our body fluids.

By combining the required electrolytes in ratios that your body can uptake more effectively, our Electrolyte Replacement drink mix can restore lost electrolytes very quickly. Our isotonic formula has been carefully refined to afford you the maximum performance potential, right when you need it.
